Table view

Explore spatial data attributes and properties for better map analysis.

Table view is a tabular interface that lets you quickly inspect all the features in your data layers as rows. In addition to scrolling through the data, you can also rename and sort columns, search for specific terms and add filters.

You can access table view a number of different ways:

  • Click on the table icon in the toolbar

  • When editing any layer, click ... and select Open table

  • Viewing the Data tab in the layer editor menu and clicking on the Feature count

Working with table view

Searching features

Click the search icon on the top-right corner of the table to search throughout all columns.

Sorting by a column

Like above, click on a column to access its options menu, then select Sort ascending or Sort descending to sort the full table by the values in that column. This works for all column data types: text, numbers, booleans and dates.

View column stats

There is a handy statistics panel directly in the data table to see column-level stats at a glance you can also easily switch between columns. This includes min, max, mean, median, sum, standard deviation, total values, total unique values, and total null values. This is helpful for data validation and inspection. Available to both map editors and viewers.

To view the stats panel, click on a column header and select View attribute stats

Selecting a feature

Clicking once on a row will select that feature both on the table and in the map, indicated by a pink highlight color. Double-clicking on the row will also zoom to it on the map.

Renaming columns

Clicking on a column will open its options menu. The first row is a text input where you can rename the column — this new name will also show up in label and popups.

Adding a filter

You can add filters for a column directly in the table view. Learn more about filtering layers.

Reorder columns

Click on the ... on the table view toolbar, select Edit attributes, and then drag and drop the column names around in the menu. When done reordering click Update Layer to save.

Formatting

You can format numeric attributes directly in the table view. Learn more about formatting.

Edit layer metadata

Viewing the underlying data is important, but understanding how it was prepared is just as critical. If you are licensing data from any data providers and need to provide those details in Felt, you can add attribution metadata to data layers in Felt. Adding an attribution to layers in Felt will add attribution information to the credits in the bottom left corner of the Felt map.

From the ... menu of the layer editor, select Actions > Edit metadata to add information about a layers source, attribution or license.

The Attribution "Display text" section gets added to the map credits at the bottom left corner of the map.

Viewers will be able to see access and review the Layer metadata via the Felt legend:

Editing data

circle-check

Admins and editors in Enterprise accounts can edit layers in Felt. From table view, you can edit attributes, add a feature, and manage the attribute columns in the layer.

  • To add features, look for the plus sign on the top-right section of table view

  • Double-click on any cell in the table to edit the value

  • Click ... and select Edit attributes to modify the columns available on the layer (add, remove, rename)

See Editing layers to learn more about editing data.
